My name is Bella Correia. I am 13 years old, and my hobbies consist of art, music, writing, crafts, and baking. My favourite animal is cats, and I’m part Portuguese and part Filipino.
My favourite type of cats are ragdoll cats! They’re super cute and fluffy.
About the Menuhin Foundation:
In 1976, the world famous violinist Yehudi Menuhin performed at the inaugural Bermuda Festival. We are lucky that whilst here he took such an interest in the island, and took the initiative to fill a void in the lives of Bermuda’s children by finding and bringing a string quartet to the island to teach in the schools across the island. He even helped with its initial funding by donating the proceeds of a special concert and by lending his name to The Menuhin Foundation which was formed by an Act of Parliament.

In July, I will be moving to Portugal. This unfortunately means that I will have to leave several things behind, including some of my musical groups and performances.
My favourite violinist is Hilary Hahn. Here’s one of her performances of a Bach concerto.
